BAD New Zealand Herald!

Well, turns out that all is fine with Keisha (see previous post). If you get today's NZ Herald using the old technology (actual processed wood pulp printed newspaper) on page A9 it says

Keisha's New Zealand agent Gail Cowan said yesterday: "It's not that she wasn't invited. She's filming in Australia and can't do it. It never even got to 'are you invited' because they knew she wasn't available. There's nothing unusual about that If you are shooting in Australia it's difficult to be on the other side of the world at the same time.

"A month or two ago we got the list through of various publicity engagements and she just wasn't able to do any of them becuase the only area of availability she had was one or two days at a time, which doesn't even cover flights."

When asked how Keisha felt about not being able to attend the premiere, she said: "She's just busy shooting. That's just part of her career, part of her life. We get so sick of everybody having an opinion on her life and her career and what must be the case when it's just supposition."

So shame on the NZ Herald website for not doing better reporting, not checking their facts, and writing in such a way as to imply a slur. Maybe there's some anti-catholic people on their editorial staff? [Imply a slur - me? ;-)]

I noticed they've rewritten the online story - but it still doesn't include what the paper says: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/search/story.cfm?storyid=00098A84-333C-155A-8DBC83027AF1015D

Thanks to Jen for discovering the newsprint version, which i never read - online all the way, baby.
